3-Wheel Scooters
Watching your little one take off on their first scootering adventure is one of those unforgettable parenting moments, often full of excitement, pride, and some understandable nerves.
At Plum Play, we understand how important those first rides are, which is why the 3-wheel scooters we stock are thoughtfully crafted to support confidence, balance, and safe exploration of the big, wide world.
Whether your kids are cruising through the backyard, zipping down the footpath, or joining you for a morning park stroll, these 3-wheel scooters turn everyday moments into unforgettable adventures. With safety-first designs, durable materials, and easy-to-use features, Plum Play’s range of scooters is made for growing kids.
How 3-Wheel Scooters Help Build Confidence in Young Riders
For toddlers and preschoolers, learning to scoot is more than just play - it offers a key milestone for both their physical and mental development. 3-wheel scooters provide a stable and supportive foundation for children to develop and improve key gross motor skills, including balance, coordination, and spatial awareness.
The design of 3-wheel scooters, which comprise two wheels at the front and one at the rear, provides increased stability as young ones learn, reducing the chances of tipping or falling over. This design goes a long way in boosting your child’s sense of security. Instead of struggling to stay upright, they can focus on mastering how to move forward, steer, and stop.
Every ride brings with it a little more confidence, and each trip helps little kids believe in their own ability to move and navigate the world around them. It’s not just about getting from A to B; it’s about giving them the confidence to do so on their own and nurturing a healthy sense of independence.
Designed for Stability, Safety, and Freeing Fun
At Plum Play, we never compromise on safety, especially when it comes to our youngest riders. That’s why the Globber 3-wheel scooters we stock are designed with wide foot decks, non-slip surfaces, and rear foot brakes to keep little ones secure during every single ride.
The 3-wheel scooters include lean-to-steer technology, allowing kids to change direction by gently shifting their weight to either side. This is a natural movement for toddlers and helps them strengthen their core muscles while enhancing control and coordination.
The wheels are engineered to roll smoothly across a range of surfaces, from smooth pathways to bumpier trails, while the handlebars are shaped for little hands to grip easily. These small but vital design features ensure each outdoor ride is smooth, safe, and loads of fun for adventurous children.
You’ll also find the entire range of 3-wheel scooters come in an array of playful colours that your kids will love.
The Difference Between 3-Wheel and 2-Wheel Scooters
While 2-wheel scooters are great for older kids who’ve developed stronger balance and coordination, 3-wheel scooters are purpose-built for early learners.
The extra front wheel on a 3-wheel scooter offers greater stability that encourages independence, even as your kid continues to develop their balance. It allows younger riders (typically those aged between 2 to 5 years) to scoot safely while gaining confidence in their physical abilities.
2-wheel scooters, on the other hand, are designed for greater speed and agility, which can be understandably overwhelming for toddlers who aren’t quite ready. Starting your child’s scooting adventures off with a 3-wheel scooter gives them the time and space to learn comfortably.

Choosing a scooter isn’t just about the colour or size. It’s also about giving your little one a chance to move with confidence and explore more freely.

They provide essential support as kids get used to riding their scooters around the backyard and neighbourhoods. Learn all about these playful means of transport below and why they’re such a great choice for toddlers and young children alike.
Australia is honestly a fantastic place for kids who love to adventure and explore their local surroundings. Our sun-kissed weather and largely moderate winters mean kids can get out with their parents for a ride year-round.
Given the ideal setting, it’s no surprise that there are many options to choose from.
3-wheel scooters are the equivalent of training wheels on a bike. They’re designed for young kids who are in the early stages of learning to ride a scooter.
They offer heightened support and stability through the inclusion of an additional wheel at either the front or back of the scooter’s base (two wheels in front, one at the back; or one wheel in front, two at the back).
It’s no secret that young kids love to move. It’s one of the many reasons we have to keep such a close eye on them. Turn your gaze for a second, and they can already be 10 metres away, running off in the opposite direction!
That’s why physical activity that leverages their seemingly endless aerobic energy is so beneficial - it offers them a healthy outlet that gets their bodies moving and allows them to more freely explore the world with you. But the benefits of scootering don’t stop there.
On the physical health and development front, riding a scooter can naturally help kids with:
Balance and coordination
Motor skills
Muscle development (particularly leg muscle strength and core strength)
Going out and riding also helps them develop on a social and intellectual level. They can:
Learn more about safety
Engage in more outdoor play
Socialise more with family, friends, and neighbourhood children
Develop a great sense of independence and self-determination
Improve their spatial awareness
Finally, another thing that makes scootering a great physical activity for kids is that the motor skills, balance, and coordination they develop will make it easier for them to learn how to ride a bike.
We stock a diverse range of 3-wheel scooters for kids, ensuring you can find one that is the perfect fit for your little ones.
Not only do we stock space-saving and adjustable 3-wheel scooters for kids of various ages and heights, but we also have 3-in-1 scooters that include an attachable seat so young toddlers can safely adventure out with you.
The standard 3-wheel scooters we sell are well-suited for kids aged between 3 and 10 years, while the 3-in-1 scooters can be used by toddlers as young as 15 months
For the 3-in-1 scooters, the three settings offered are as follows:
Ride-on: this is suited for toddlers between the ages of 15 and 36 months. The ride-on allows them to sit while their parent or guardian pushes them around with an attached T-bar handle.
Walking bike: this is suited to toddlers within the same age range (15 to 36 months) who are ready to move themselves around. The T-bar handle can be removed and kids can safely use their feet to move them forward and backward while using a smaller handle to turn left and right.
Toddler scooter: for toddlers and young children between 3 and 9 years of age, this is a full 3-wheel scooter experience. The T-bar handle is affixed to the front and can be adjusted according to your kid’s height.
At Plum Play, we sell Globber scooters. Globber is an internationally renowned and multi-award-winning manufacturer of scooters, with a particular focus on kids’ scooters.
Their scooters are designed with safety and ease of use in mind, utilising patented technology such as their steering lock system.
This system allows you to lock the front wheels of the scooter so that they can only move forward and backward. It helps young kids practise and develop their balancing skills before they’re ready to ride unrestrained. Once they’ve developed enough balance and coordination, the steering lock can be disengaged for freer directional movement.
Globber also places a focus on being environmentally conscious. Their ECOLOGIC range is made from 60% to 100% Global Recycled Standard (GRS) plastics, and they intend to bring their entire range (not just ECOLOGIC) to 100% GRS plastics. Any product denoted as 100% GRS plastic means the product’s plastic components are built entirely from recycled plastics, meaning less waste going out into the environment.
Plum Play is committed to manufacturing and selling products that have a minimal environmental impact, and Globber’s range of award-winning 3-wheel scooters cater to this commitment.
Most importantly to young ones, they’re just fantastic scooters that open a whole new world of adventures. View the complete range of Globber 3-wheel scooters on this page. If you have any questions or want to know more about our entire range of products for kids, get in touch.
